Institutional Impact: UMass Boston has an Urban Mission that
compels us to be responsible community members and good neighbors
and the Harbor Point Apartment Community's proximity to our campus
provides an excellent venue for the demonstration of our Urban
Mission as well as a substantive opportunity for faculty research
and student learning and service. Several hundred UMass Boston
students are tenants at Harbor Point. Our Office of Student Housing
provides roommate matching and community-building services and
programming.

Community Impact: The residents of Harbor Point, a nationally
acclaimed mixed income housing community that blends subsidized and
fair market housing, have a very high level of access to the
University's resources including athletic, technological, career
development, and recreational/educational facilities and
opportunities. UMass Boston students perform many hours of
community service at Harbor Point including tutoring, senior
citizen activities, beach and site clean-ups, etc.
